would be required. Councilmen explained they understood the extra difficulty in
going out the back of the house and around the front to the street but that it would
also require two lines be installed instead of one in many circumstances. The group
also asked for a speed check. Mayor told them raised checks were a problem for the
snow plow but perhaps a dip would help.
